Dear Mom, Dad, Lauren, and Ian,
First of all, I want to send my condolences and love to
the family about the passing of TIto Chuck... especially to Cameron and Tita
Jackie. I'll be praying hard for them. I never thought it would happen so soon!
I honestly don't know what to say any more than that. I am as shocked as you
are. Feelings about Lola's passing comes back to mind. I remember how difficult
that time was for all of us. As sad as we were, the gospel of Jesus Christ
brought me much comfort, knowing where Lola was going and what would happen
afterwards. That same comfort comes back as well at this time. Expect a letter
from me to the family next week.
I suppose I should start talking about this past week
now. First though, it's awesome that you all went to conference! I'm glad you
got to see all the general authorities and hear their voices live. You probably
heard Elder Hugo Martinez talk in Spanish. I met him personally a few weeks ago
at a zone conference. He told me that I must write my testimony to Laney and
Hannah after talking to him for a bit. A really nice guy!
Well, General Conference was awesome as always! ^_^ Don't ask me who
was my favorite, I loved all the talks, haha! I was able to watch it in English
this time around in a little tv. It was a lot of fun! Not only conference, but
watching it with the other Elders and Sisters in my zone made it a lot better
as well. It was an awesome experience! ^_^
The work is progressing in its own way. We've decided to
help out the ward before we make a push for a lot of investigators. What we're
going to do, with the help and approval of the Bishop of course, is prepare
members to share the gospel with friends and associates whenever the occasion
permits. This would be a huge help because we'll have more people doing missionary
work instead of just us two. We won't be around for every single opportunity to
share the gospel, but with more people around, ready to share something, it will
be more efficient. We spent the week meeting with the bishop and working closely
with him, and now we're starting to put into effect this little strategy. Wish
us luck!
Hopefully, the work will progress at this pace. I'll
write you all next week with how that is all going. I love you and miss you
all! Send my regards to the other family members, please! I'll send pictures
and a video next week!
